<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Class does not mean "form group" in MarkBook.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>You cannot "create ten subjects for each class".
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>MarkBook, and I also assume QuickVic, allows you to create
subjects and then classes for each of the subjects. So you might have a subject
called 07MA1 for all year 7 Maths classes in Semester 1 and then have
classes called 07MA1A, 07MA1B, etc</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>So be clear what you mean - well what MarkBook
means!</FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12px">Yes you must differentiate between subjects and
classes. Even if you make one subject for each class. Subjects control the
formatting and titles on printed reports. So Junior Maths may have ten classes
but one subject. Their reports will all be the same. You could however create
ten subjects for each class. The top row in quick set up where you confgure
report layout is according to my understanding controlled by
subjects.<BR>RB<BR>Thomastown<BR><BR><BR>On 14/3/07 3:40 PM, "Robert Hind"

face="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><BR> <BR>Quick one Laurie .. do you
really need the 07A 07B 07C bits when 07 will do? From what I
understand the software sorts out classes / students by teachers for
marking anyway and again into students for reports. I suspect that
Markbook exports course codes .. not class codes (or are these the
same things). <BR><BR>Thanks for the cue about the last digit .. notice
that the software rolls on a digit for semesters etc so I will add
that in for semester length courses.<BR><BR> <BR></FONT></SPAN>
